Enrique,

This question was asked just a couple of weeks ago and JP directed
us to this URL

http://www.tkrh.demon.co.uk/netcat.html

I have used netcat for years and it works great.  The beauty of it
is that printers are manageable by  /usr/lib/lpadmin so that if you
need to make any changes to printers used with netcat, you can do
so using lpadmin standard syntax.

Since this question has been asked so closed to the last time it was
asked, I have decided to put a download of an easy solution to this.
The link, of course, is in the fpgroups.com snippets page.

Here, you should find a gzipped tarball containing everything you
need.  Included, is a simple interactive script I wrote to help 
create the printer.  Check it out!

Regards,
